Peter Handke

Peter Handke was born in 1942 in Carinthia, the son of a Carinthian Slovene mother and a German soldier whom he did not meet until 1961; he gave up law in 1965 when a publisher accepted his first novel, and made his name the following year by publicly accusing Group 47 of descriptive impotence. He has written narratives, plays and screenplays for Wim Wenders, and his work, abundant and controversial, received the Nobel Prize in 2019.
